 |
|
Hi I get this error each time i try to send mail with a forum which is hosted on apache2
| Code: | | Mar 15 15:14:09 xxxx sendmail[3719]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(apache): can not write to queue directory /var/spool/clientmqueue/ (RunAsGid=0, required=209): Permission denied |
i put apache into the smmsp group (which is 209) and the error still comes up
(/var/spool/clientmqueue is chowned to smmsp.smmsp)
I have temporarily chmodded the folder 777 but I'd like a proper fix for this.
Thanks in advance. |

I also have problems with sendmail. Everytime I update it I need to change the permissions on sendmail binary and the queue directory. Sendmail seems to be using gid 407 and not 209. I also have two entries for smmsp in /etc/group, one for gid 209 and one for 407. This gives a GID collision, but I'm not sure if I just can remove gid 209 or if someone else is using it. (ls -n will give you the numeric values for uid and gid.)
Entries from passwd and group:
| Code: | smmsp:x:407:407::/var/spool/mqueue/:/dev/null
|
| Code: | smmsp:x:209:smmsp
smmsp:x:407:
|
Changing these permissions might help...
| Code: | -r-xr-sr-x 1 0 407 681104 Mar 4 16:21 /usr/sbin/sendmail
drwxrwx--- 2 407 407 104 Mar 16 00:07 /var/spool/clientmqueue
